Based on your book
by Patrick Ness
Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody drops you into a wildly imaginative school where monitor lizards Zeke, Daniel, and Alicia are suddenly tasked with keeping the peace. Zeke, our resident 'nobody' lizard, is just trying to blend in, which is hard enough when you're a reptile in a mammal-heavy student body. But when Principal Wombat assigns them hall monitor duty, and Zeke finds himself squaring off against a notorious pelican bully (who might also be a supervillain), his quiet life gets hilariously complicated. This book has a quick, clever pace, full of sharp dialogue and laugh-out-loud moments, all while gently exploring what it means to stand up for yourself when you're the last person anyone expects. It’s perfect for readers who love a good underdog story, a quirky school setting, and a protagonist who finds his voice in the most unexpected ways, wrapped up in a genuinely funny package.
